A C-SPAN camera captured the rapper entering the Manhattan building and getting on an elevator. A spokesperson for president-elect Trump, Hope Hicks, confirmed the meeting with Business Insiderpolitics editor Oliver Darcy, though no details were given about what West and Trump were discussing.

West and Trump later returned to the Trump Tower lobby together. “He’s a good man,” the president-elect said of the rapper. “We’ve been friends for a long time.” When asked what they spoke about, Trump said, “Life.” West, in turn, did not answer questions about his joking 2020 presidential run or if he would perform at the inauguration. “I just wanted to take a picture right now,” he said.
